During Thanksgiving weekend, we were visiting friends for dinner and several teens and kids asked if we could play a game. I'd brought my Wings of Glory planes in my duffel, and my wife suggested breaking them out for a dogfight.
We ended up with my wife, myself, 3 teens, my daughter (who's five) and my daughter's best friend (who's six). Since we had so many new players, we agreed to play a free-for-all with everyone allowed to shoot everyone, and simplified rules (ignoring some restricted maneuvers, no altitude, no damage symbols, etc.).
Turned out everyone had a blast...and my little girl terrorized EVERYONE in the sky flying an Aviatik D.I.
Early in, she passes me and guns down my Albatros D.III.
Then a few rounds later she gets behind my wife and shoots down her Fokker Dr.I.
Then she takes down a Nieuport 17.
The game ended with her and one of the teens as the last two survivors trying to bring each other down. Eventually the teen got her, but only after she filled his plane with holes!
My daughter's six-year-old friend also did quite well, considering. No kills, but she was one of the very last planes to be shot down.
It was a fun match, and everyone had a good time. I am so proud how many kills my little girl got in her first game, I don't even mind she shot me down first.
